00:07 The residents of Oro City are doing their best to recover from the bad weather.
00:13 For EFN Live, I'm Efren Mamac of GMA Regional TV1, Mindanao. Efren?
00:23 Yes, Susan. In more than 2,000 residents, only 7 were able to rescue their fishpond operator
00:30 here in Barangay Kabaluay, Zamboanga City because they died due to the intense heat caused by the El Niño.
00:37 Only 6 residents in 27 hectares of Palaisdaan in Barangay Kabaluay, Zamboanga City can be counted.
00:47 It's lucky that there are still some survivors who can be found because they died due to the intense heat caused by the El Niño.
00:55 In December 2023, the fishpond operators tried to recover but more died before they could be rescued.
01:10 According to the Office of the City Agriculturist, as of March 29 this year, almost 190 hectares of fishpond
01:18 were affected by the heat from 85 fishpond operators and 30 hectares of seaweed farm from 32 seaweed farmers in the city.
01:27 That's why the agency is continuing to provide assistance, like money, for their fishponds.
01:32 Actually, part of the 10.5 million intervention for El Niño approved by the local government is really the provision of assistance as well
01:41 to our fishpond operators and to our seaweed farmers.
01:45 We have procurement of bangus fries and seaweed planting materials that will be distributed.
01:52 In Cagayan, Oro City, the heat in April reached 38 to 39 degrees Celsius.
01:59 Residents were disposed of their own to avoid the heat.
02:02 Some are still cleaning the fishpond and some are returning the cooling system like the coconut juice that is left in the street.
02:10 Even if the sun is hot, the shopkeepers are still disposing of their own to sell.
02:14 You're all cold.
02:16 According to the Task Force El Niño of Cagayan de Oro City,
02:19 avoiding sunbathing to avoid heatstroke and drinking water so as not to dehydrate.
02:25 It's not just 9 o'clock now, it's until 3 in the afternoon to avoid heatstroke.
02:34 Susan, according to the Office of the City Agriculture in Zamboanga City,
02:40 they are still continuing their procurement for the bangus that will be distributed to the fishpond operators as assistance.
